4. Sun Reef
Access is not easy: you have to jump off a rock or climb down a steep ladder. But the “Bio Rock” – a coral breeding project – and of course a very beautiful reef are tempting.
But what is really special for us is the German-Swiss diving school “Curacao Divers”: Mike and Andrea are really great! The diving is totally relaxed and both are absolutely professional.
What’s more, Mike has published a German diving guide that describes almost every reef access in detail, including a map for orientation.
An example of the fantastic orientation maps in Michael Duss’ “Diving Guide” is the map of “Sun Reef” (s. below). The German book is available at his dive center and at Amazon (-> “Tauchführer Curacao”). At most dive centers you can also get dive guiding books in english, for example.
5. Kokomo Beach
Kokomo Beach is practically next door, and is a highlight even for non-divers: the swing in the water attracts many tourists here. This means that the beach is very crowded.
Divers can pass through the entrance free of charge. Once in the water, you can choose to go left or right. We prefer the left side.
6. Double Reef
The access is a bit adventurous: it goes directly over rocks into the water. In short distance there is a mooring area for cruise ships.
The “double reef” makes up for this: the first area goes down to 18 meters with a sandy bottom. The second reef area is already visible. So you can see the inner reef on the way out and the outer reef on the way back. Great!
You will need to bring your own equipment or rent it from a reputable dive school.
